Another month has whizzed by, so how is my progress towards my goals going?

1. Year of the Novel - Still drafting my story. My critique partners have been excellent, pointing out the deficiencies in what is essentially still a first draft. My new goal is to have a workable first draft by 31/12/15. I don't feel there is possibility of a polished manuscript to send.

2. Writing Day - back on track with my writing day. I have been doing some sprints with my e-critique group The Scattered Wordsmiths and those have been brilliant.

3. Running - DRUM ROLL - I have been doing the local Park Run and what a sensational experience that is. Still really slow, but feeling much better. I've also downloaded a park fitness program, for those nights when its just Jade and I at the off-leash park. Last night, we walked the perimeter of the park and at every bench I did 20 squats and 20 wall push-ups against the backrest. It's all helping.

4. Balance - I've discovered I'm keeping up with what I need to do, its the backlog that's slowing me down. So, when I next have annual leave, I'll be working on the backlog. Wish me luck.

​How are your goals going?
